    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also stand up to support the Report on the Sessional Paper No. 2 of 2013 on the National Industrial Training and Attachment Policy. I add my voice to the Committee which has done a lot of work to make sure that it presents this Report to Parliament for plenary. I just want to point out a few issues. I like the fact that they have mentioned the National Qualifications Authority, which has actually been overtaken by events. We have the National Qualifications Framework Act in place after passing the National Qualifications Framework Bill earlier on in the year. I have a few concerns about the issues that have been affecting interns in our country. We have issues where poor youths are being given attachments and yet, there is no allowance being given to them. The Government should have actually pronounced itself on this particular issue and, more so, in line with the Budget Speech, where the Government can put it bluntly that a special tax rebate will be given to companies which take on interns. As they train them, the Government will do something special."
